The China News Service said it was the first time panda porn “was able to affect a female panda.”

Pandas are notoriously poor breeders. The females are fertile for just three days a year and seem to lose interest in sex once they are in captivity, The Telegraph said.

Researchers hope the panda porn will help more females get in the mood for love and – fingers crossed – lead to the “patter of tiny paws” at the breeding center in southwest China, the Daily Mail reported.
